Happy birthday KilroyJC! Hope you got a big piece of cake to go with holding that sofa down...

I keep 2" thick foam pads almost everywhere, to put down for when I kneel. My knees are still stock, but I've been hard on them from bicycling, motorcycling, hackey sack, softball. I need a pad in front of my fireplace when I'm starting a fire, but I don't want it to catch fire...



Prayers.


Glad you got her back up! You need a warm cab up there.


Hope that fixes it!


Glad the guy was honest. The world needs more honest people.


Prayers all goes well.
Herons will eat large fish out of your pond. I need a way to scare them off.


I'm fine....until the shenanigans start.


Yep, maybe a grey hound or whippet to chase them off? Or a robotic scarecrow? Or something flying through the air?
Ron, that pic of the doves was awesome. We have almost the same birds down here, but about 20-30F warmer than you during the winter.
Our little rose bushes were still blooming until the freeze we had back mid January.

Off today, but attended an online meeting for over an hour.

Tractor has front tire flat, have put slime in it years ago, needs more. Actually needs new rim and tires on front. Rim's beads are probably rusty again (made mistake of filling them with water when new). And the tires are 21 years old, still have plenty of tread, but the sidewalls have scads of hairline cracks due to age. Ka ching. 11.2" - 24" firestone Traction and Road R1's.

After filling tire, moved a huge oak stump over to burn pile. Maybe 36" diameter x 5' long. It was the remainder of what my son and I cut the top part into firewood.

Took son to doctor appt. He has a sinus/respiratory infection. Need to go get his antibiotic here in a bit.

Ken, sounds like your son had some fun at the SOR. There are some cool SOR videos on youboobtube.

I gotta say, Youtube premium is really nice when I'm at work, and I want to watch a "How To" video, and there are no ads. Just don't like the buyout cost. $22./month for whole family that lives at this address. But when I log on at work into my google account, it follows me.

Supercross racing has been extremely exciting this season. I watch on Peacock channel (maybe $7/month). They are going to race in Ron's backyard (Detroit) tomorrow. Crowds have been big and there have been multiple winners in the first 4 races, so that adds to the excitement.

Rich, where 'ya been? Hope all is well.

Helogabals, thanks for coming back. I enjoy your posts, and you have many interesting aspects to your life. That is enough wire for a skyscraper!

riptides and LS125, y'all need a quiet room to wind down. Actually, I hope the issues are just 1st world issues that can be overcome. Maybe the milkroom will be the quiet room in the future?

Kilroy, that FLIR might be handy for your single male friends to borrow and take to the dance. They will be able to determine the hottest girls there.

Scottie, nice pics. Beam me over there for happy hour! Looks like y'all are having fun.

Wifey fixed me a wonderful sandwich, one of my favorites, leftover pot roast on a hoagie type bun with havarti cheese and a smear of mayo.

Storms on the horizon. 69F at the moment. We actually need it to rain another 150 miles west of Austin/San Antonio to replenish the aquifers. But it looks like these rains will fall mostly east of them.

Drew, have fun with the gardening. My daughter "wants" to have a big garden, but I know she'll have all kinds of excuses when the work part comes along....

Prayers for Bupps and the rest of our team.

Thank you!!!!

pizza instead of cake

Red potatoes are in at Carmine feed store garden area in Giddings. I bought my 10 pounds last week and will plant them in 3 weeks hopefully will have 100 pounds of organic potatoes in May.

as expected my friend with the double knee replacement did not have a fun night last night,
described pain as beyond 10, so they don't have his meds dialed up enough yet.
He has been quiet for awhile, I think they finally dosed him so he can sleep. But I get an occasional text from him.
only person I text with and only while in hospital.

he is caregiver to his 103 year old mother who lives near Fort Dix.
I may have to help with a grocery run this coming week for her
She went to Brown/Pembroke way back when and she still remembers I went there.
Thankfully she has a full time live in caretaker, the cost of which her son shoulders.
He is a very good son and takes wonderful care of her. Does her food shopping every week coming over from PA
And now he is laid up and I know he is nervous about his mother. actually I think he hurts so much right now, or even better,
is medicated adequately so he feels almost no pain. Only someone who has been through this can explain and I haven't.

headed off to local orchard to get some more apples, then down to brother's for a glass of wine.
nice way to end a cold grey drizzly day

Drew I don’t understand why his pain is so high. They give medication, and it does apparently control it. Over 10 is hard to believe.

Anyway, I hope so, because I’m planning on getting my knee done this year.

Rest in peace Missy

Hope Zoe is back to normal soon

Kyle prayers for your family and you

For some reason they do not like giving the good painkiller at the hospital and if the block wears off on the second day it will be painful. My Dr. prescribed the pills the day before and since I was home just 6 hours after the operation I could take the good stuff to stop the pain before it got intolerable.

On the first knee two years ago I had a late surgery and stayed the night in the hospital and the block wore off on the drive home. My wife had to bring me out some pain pills before I could get out of the car.
